It appears the hide and seek game between Jr NTR and Harika-Hasini Creations banner is reaching its peak.
Director Trivikram’s movie was fixed with NTR post ‘Alaa Vaikunthapuramlo’. Despite Trivikram giving a disaster in the form of ‘Agnyaathavaasi’ NTR agreed to work with him, that’s his greatness.
However, when hero is getting delayed, if Trivikram goes ahead and works with someone like Mahesh or some other hero is that fair. This is the question coming from NTR’s camp.
They are also sending feelers that if Trivikram goes away NTR will announce his next with Koratala Siva or someone else.
In counter, few feelers are now emerging that if NTR does that then Trivikram will also work with some other hero.
In the midst, Harika-Hasini team is stuck and trying to clarify it is not their thought. It is heard this situation would strain their relation with NTR.
Free By March:
Sources say NTR gave a clear indication to Trivikram he would be free by March 2021 as he will finish ‘RRR’. However, Harika-Hasini camp is reportedly feeling that they will get stuck if they wait further Jan 2021.
Ram’s Desire:
It is heard that recently Ram Pothineni approached Trivikram and requested if he can make a film with him. But the issue is, when Trivikram makes a movie, barring hero’s remuneration the budget will not change.
He will travel with his standard team of PS Vinod, S S Thaman, Prakash, Ram-Laxman and others. When he did a movie with Nithiin, minus the hero’s remuneration the budget crossed 40 crores. This happened few years back so if it is now the budget will certainly cross 70 crores. Most importantly, Ram doesn’t have the market of Bunny or NTR.
No Stories:
Buzz is that Trivikram doesn’t have a ready story for either Mahesh Babu or Ram. Also, even NTR’s story is yet to reach the final version. So, even if Trivikram takes off with a hero other than NTR, it would take at least three months for him to come up with a story.
Given that, few industry people are saying it would make more sense if he uses that time for NTR’s project only.
The Ayyappan Issue:
Anyhow, Pawan Kalyan has okayed the remake of Malayalam movie ‘Ayyapanum Koshiyum’. Keeping aside how many creative inputs he will give, the rest of the matters would be dealt by Trivikram only. In that case how will be the quality checks, the meetings, the other works related to that. If he gets in, Trivikram will be busy till March.
Given all the above points, it is evident that if Trivikram can make a film before NTR is free, it would only be a miracle. And if that happens, there is a very certain danger that NTR would have to distance himself from Harika-Hasini project.
Already they have been separated from Mahesh since many years. That patch-up is yet to happen, as per sources. So, the chances are high that Harika-Hasini might not repeat that mistake.
